Questions families ask
About Black Heroes of Africa
I am a French-Senegalese publisher. I studied these African kings, queens, and freedom fighters at school in Senegal, and I realized that many families in the West have never heard their names. Black Heroes of Africa is my way of sharing them. Every story is researched from published sources, written to be read aloud, and checked against the sources listed in each book. My goal is simple: every child should know the whole story.
